Hi,
here is white 26, the same of the photo above. I find it very attractive because of the markings. This time the camo is more recognizable.

Hi,
here is an attempt to reproduce the plane numbered 66/17.

Unfortunately the camo is all but clear. To explain the low contrast, I can suppose that the painting practise of Z-18 considered a very thin layer of grey and brown on the green background.
Regards
Massimo

This airplane belonged to HSU Titovich, an interview with whom is available on this site.

Hi,
An Il-2M of early type probably photographed after August 1943. What can be seen of the camouflage looks of Zavod 18, but the position of the stars is a bit unusual for this factory.

It features:

replacing of the rudder with one of a later type with different painting;
multiple repaintings of the stars on the tail and fuselage;
a field-shortened 'tunnel' canopy to allow a greater field of defensive fire.




Regards
Massimo

That's an interesting one, Massimo.  Maybe one for the book?

Any idea as to what unit white 26 belonged to?

Hi Jason,
I've sent the drawings of n.12 for the book.
Hi Barneybolac,
yes, it's the same unit of Emelyanenko. Here is all what I know on it.

By the way, I've changed the drawing of 26 after having found new photos of it. The base camo is black-green , the overpaintings are questionable. If one wants, he can paint the plane with black and green only, leaving  pre-august 1943 stars with thin white outline.
Regards
Massimo

Hi, here is another Il-2M.


This late type Il-2M shows the typical tail wheel fairing of Zavod 1. The short radio mast identifies the plane as a straight-wing one built in late summer/fall 1943. The photo was probably taken in spring 1944.

The plane still bears white winter finish on the tail, central fuselage and possibly wings. A white 14 is visible on the tail stabilizer, in an unpainted rectangle. The base camo looks the first one, with a brown band amid the nose. The spinner looks of a medium shade, possibly blue.

Another good one, Massimo!  One for the book, I should think.  By the way, I now have the 1/72nd scale Academy (never released Accurate Miniatures) straight-winged two-seater.  It was released a little earlier than it was supposed to be, probably because of Tamiya and Hobby Boss' imminent releases (even thought their releases will be arrows).  I'll probably do a short review of it as another topic.

Regards,

Jason

Very well Jason, I'll send the hi-res drawing soon. This is interesting because it's one of the few ones with later camo and partial winter finish.
I'm interested to know something on the Academy kit and to buy it, I prefer by much straight-wingers because of their wider possibilties of camo.

You can't have too many Il-2's, Michel!

Hi,
here is another one.





Il-2M with an interesting arrow emblem on both the sides of the fuselage.

The plane bears the typical green-black camo of Zavod 1. Note the unusual rear canopy, of cutten' type; it's unclear if this was made in the factory or on the field.

A white cap is visible on the tail, but a hole in the fabric skinning of the rudder could hide an unknown bort number.

The spinner looks to have some color variations, perhaps a thin red line on its rear.

The photos were taken in Belgrod in July 1943.




This plane bears some resemblances with the recently drawn profile of 12: perhaps that one should be adapted to match a plane of Zavod 1 with wooden wings as this one.

White lightning was 800 shap regimental marking, so this Il-2 may have belonged to this unit.  Strange element is white tail tip - 800 shap planes didn't have white tail tips???
Tail may have originated from an Il-2 that belonged to other regiment...
